They will definitely produce new leaves during flower if they have to, but I prefer the plant to be putting all its resources into flower production at that stage.
Other than some long internodal spacing those plants look fine to me. The lolly pooping is a bit more agresive than what I prefer, but over all vigorous and green. Perhaps I missed it earlier, but do you do much topping or FIM?
Angry? Lol. I'm not angry in the least. Just keep making assumptions if that's what makes you happy. Also, please show me where I'm quoting others for my info. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Just quote others? What are you even talking about? I've been growing since 1994 and I have run grow journals on this and other sites many times. You know nothing g about me so don't talk out of your ass. You want to debate techniques? Fine. But keep your uninformed opinions about me to...
1st off, unless you have done at least one side by side with identical genetics and identical environment to remove variables and prove your concepts you can't say 'it works for me bro' or 'my opinion is just as valid as yours is broseph'.... This shit is testable and I'm getting tired of...
3 clones from the same mother. 3 identical lights, 3 identical pots with the same soil, identical feed schedules and identical training methods. 1 plant no leaves are removed (except for topping if that method is employed), 1 plant with light pruning to cull leaves that recieve no light or...
So much false. First off, 'shading flowers' doesn't even mean anything because flowers don't photosynthesize. Leaves photosynthesize. Secondly, if your leaves start to turn yellow in quantity it is a sign that you are under feeding the plant. The solution isn't to start cutting, the solution...
Uh huh. That is why cannabis is the only plant in the world that is grown for the purposes of maximum flower production where people cut off perfectly good photosynthetic vegetative growth because they think that crippling a plants ability to make food will result in improved yield.
Beyond what has been stated above, the plant can also draw stored nutrients from leaves that may not be getting much light if it isn't getting enough of what it needs. There just isn't a good reason to cut leaves off unless they are already completely dead.
The run I harvested last month was 1 plant in a 3x3x6 and it filled the whole damn tent. I had fan leaves smooshed up against the side of the tent. So my answer is 1.
There was absolutely no reason to prune anything if that is what they looked like before. I'll reserve my judgment on whether you messed up or not until I see the 'after' pics however.
